you're absolutely right Jun 25, 2006

And I would add one more myth:

Machine translators can translate as well or even better than human translators.

Most of it is true... Jun 25, 2006

...and maybe the fact that I can honestly say that number six (about dry spells) is not true for me is only because I am probably lucky. I mean, if somebody put it on this list, that means it is true for most of us.

I would also add many more items to the list, as people still seem to not know our work well (this even includes some clients, translators, agencies and outsourcers). But I can't gather my ideas right now (it's late at night).... See more

Do you think ... Jun 25, 2006

... that if you have been translating as a freelancer for more than 10 years you will have a dry spell?

Lo que veo es que un traductor que lleva mucho tiempo en esta profesión y goza de una certificación oficial siempre gozará de un empleo, sobre todo en los países europeos donde algunas traducciones han de ser legales. Ese traductor tendrá sus ingresos de las traducciones, de los exámenes de traductor jurado en cuya corrección participe y en talleres que imparta.

Hombre, si eres de esos traductores bohemios que tiene la suerte de vivir en el Albaycín de Granada y que no le falta trabajo pues me alegro por ti ... hasta te diré que te envidio pero es muy raro ¿ No lo creís? ▲ Collapse

Moved the topic Jun 25, 2006

Hi folks,

I've moved the topic from the forum "Forums" to the "Lighter Side of Trans/Interp" (After all, it's not a discussion about Proz.com "Forums".)

Also, I'd like to remind you to please post in English -except for in non-English forums- so that everybody -including me- can understand.
